Some of us are skilled, but find it more efficient to tick a checkbox, than type stuff in manually. Especially if it's a one-off task. For repeatability or a known outcome - automation rules.

I've used Dell switches in stacked and single deployments and have enjoyed great success with all the managed products. When I was running the IT department for that law firm (from Hell), I had a Cisco core and Dell in all my access-layer closets and all branch offices and it was a rock solid setup. My only beef with Dell is that the CLI is just different enough from Cisco to piss you off. Example, you can't just type 'sh run' you have to type "show running-config". However, the web mgmt applet was easy-peasy to use.
